    So when you get the calculation do you stay at that calorie intake even if you burned say 800 calories at the gym?

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Your true "TDEE" is your total daily energy expenditure. So you would calculate that value with your average exercise.

    However, let's say you do an extra hour at the gym than average - then you have burned those additional calories and would be well served to eat some of them back.
    Because of reading this post that someone else shared, I finally did the calculations to figure out my TDEE. Any other time I've read about it, I gave up because it was to much to comprehend/focus on! Having the link figure it out for me and then understanding how to figure the proper deficit was so unbelievably helpful! Thank you for sharing!!! I haven't lost weight for months now, and I have been exercising like crazy along with eating good. According to this, I need to eat about 600 more calories a day. At this point I'm willing to give it a go, since what I'm doing is obviously NOT working!

    This made my day!! Please give it at least a month before you start weighing yourself again, because there may be a short term increase of a pound or two and you cannot let yourself be discouraged.
